The Gurugram police have arrested two individuals, including Aditya Chaturvedi, a business development manager at IndusInd Bank’s Delhi branch, in a cyber fraud case involving a Rs4.97 crore scam. The fraud was related to promising profitable returns on stock market investments, and the arrested individuals were allegedly involved in providing bank accounts to cyber criminals.
A complaint filed on November 30 last year led to the investigation and the subsequent arrests of Avinash Sharma, a resident of Rani Bagh, Delhi, and Aditya Chaturvedi, a native of Uttar Pradesh. Aditya, while employed at IndusInd Bank, is accused of collaborating with others to provide bank accounts to criminals.
According to the police investigation, Avinash Sharma’s bank account was used in the fraud, and he had received Rs25,000 from Aditya for facilitating the fraud. Additionally, Aditya had made arrangements with other individuals to provide bank account details in exchange for money. These accounts were later used by cyber criminals across various states, including Jammu and Kashmir, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal, and several others.
The police have revealed that 12 complaints have been registered against the same bank account in different parts of India. Authorities are continuing to interrogate the suspects as the investigation deepens.
The cyber police also arrested another individual, Raju, a resident of Kedar Colony, Ganganagar, Rajasthan, who is accused of providing a bank account used in the fraud.
